I have enjoyed every minute I have had at Happy Valley High School working as a NiswongerCARE Advisor. One of my best experiences thus far is with a specific student who is a first generation college student with big dreams. I have been able to meet with him once a week to prepare him for the college application process. By seeing his determination and resilience in preparing for applying to University of Tennessee Knoxville and creating a path to continue his education at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine I am inspired to work just as hard as him to prepare other students for post-secondary options. Seeing the light in the student’s eyes when they realize that college is a possibility and not just a fairytale is something that I hold on to each and every day I walk through the doors to work. I cannot wait to see where the rest of the year takes my students and all of the wonderful things they will accomplish!
